OK, this question does come from Reddit, but the following is my answer, so there is no copyright issue. My Answer ※ 見つけられる is 見つける's passive form and potential form. ① 本が見つかった。（intransitive verb） I found the book.→Emphasize the book.

(I can find the book) ④ 本が見つけられた。（transitive verb's passive form） I found the book.→Emphasize who/what found it. ※ 見つかられる is 見つかる's passive form. 見つかる has no potential form. ※ 見つかる has no potential form, so use 見つからない to mean it cannot be found.

My thoughts: This grammar is often seen, and you can even see it on the toilet lid. But in real life, as a foreigner, it is difficult to hear such a statement. This grammar usually appears in business situations, especially when facing critical issues.   This statement is always pasted on specific objects as warning signs. Because in daily life, you talk to friends like this: 今日は雨が降りそうだ。It looks like rain today. You will never use "恐れがある" because it is so strange as if you are saying something important.
